Weird, I thought Eddie Money sang that song. Loverboy? Really? A Canadian band?
I might has well chose a Bryan Adams song. "Rain To You?" Nah, just wouldn't fit
because we're talking temperatures, and great weather just in time for the
weekend. The 60s and 70s actually start in earnest on Saturday.



Now come on, eh? Doesn't those two temperature forecast maps look a darned sight
better than this one from today?



So we start getting a bit warmer each day, peak on Sunday, then watch for another
system to come through early next week. Won't be as cold as this one, but as we
get into next week, there will be a possibility of more rain. Not for sure yet,
but the outlooks for next week are certainly hinting at it.





It's also starting to show up on day 6 and 7 for the precip forecast map.



So many ending possibilities here. How about:

You want a piece of my heart,
You better start from the low 70s.

No?

Okay, here ya go:

Everybody wants a little romance,
But only if temperatures are in the 60s and 70s over the weekend.

Rats. I could never be Canadian, and that cuts me like a knife.
